I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 616



69. Detecting the Fusion Strike in Transit (The Event Has Begun)

From noble mtl dot com

They might panic and try to argue; they might feign calmness and attempt to lie; or they could be so furious that they plan to resist. After mockingly revealing their own schemes, how would Adev react? The elders of the old elven nobility likely had their considerations prepared, but they never expected: Adev would adopt an almost “bored” nonchalance, as if discussing what to eat for dinner, while threatening them.

Thus, as her words fell, all the old elven elders were stunned by Adev’s statement. Not to mention Miss Mel beside Adev, even I momentarily failed to grasp why Adev’s recent actions felt so… dangerous, and I even felt relieved that Adev was directing her threat at the elven elders.

In the next moment, Elder Feng, the second in command among the old elven elders, was the first to snap out of his surprise. With a few other elders who gradually regained their composure, he sneered at Adev.

“Adev, don’t forget where you are! How dare you threaten us on our territory? Do you think we are easily frightened?!”

“Frighten? How could that be…”

Adev displayed a look of doubt, then smiled and waved her gun hand, “Not at all, not at all. How could I frighten you elders? I’m merely stating a fact. Because, I admit everything you say; I indeed have had contact with the orcs, but so what? If you dare to speak of it, I will strip you of everything that defines you as elves and your pride, cut it away, and then shoot you to prevent any similar situations from arising. That’s just the truth, you know~”

Pausing, Adev waved her hand, calling Miss Mel closer, then glanced at the watch on Miss Mel’s wrist.

“Also, my time is calculated in seconds for costs and expenses. If you elders only have this matter and do not intend to assist me in capturing the criminals of the Purus Kingdom, then I will take my leave and personally take over here to catch the criminals~”

Having said that, Adev yawned and seemed ready to leave. The elven elders before her exchanged surprised glances for a moment, and finally, the initial Elder Feng could no longer hide anything!

“Preposterous! Don’t think you can scare us! Adev, if you don’t agree to leave the Purus Kingdom, do you really think you can walk out of here?!”

Then, with a wave of his hand!

“Come, come here!”

The dangerous content that had been buried in the script suddenly emerged at this moment, as three hundred axe-wielding warriors burst forth from beneath the table… Of course, it wasn’t that exaggerated, but indeed, a considerable number of fully armed elves rushed in from outside, their gleaming arrows seemingly narrating the threats and dangers that Adéle was about to face in the script.

The second-in-command, Elder Feng, who had called for help, seemed to regain his confidence, smiling as he met Adéle’s gaze. “I knew that you, an elf who can’t grasp the situation, would never agree. We are ready! Adéle, don’t think that just because you’ve managed to pull a few tricks, you can be smug. As long as the people in the Kingdom of Plouce are elves, it’s our elders who have the final say! You will agree, whether you want to or not; otherwise, today… you and your people won’t leave here alive!”

[Elder Feng threatens Adéle with death.]

The escape route was completely blocked, not to mention that we had come here quietly with a small group to avoid exposing our whereabouts to Ludwig. Even if we tried to flee now, there would be no way out. These elders must have thought this way, which is why they felt so fearless.

However, having reached this point, the fact that they had contacted Ludwig and were fully cooperating with him was also laid bare. So…

Adéle’s decision came without the slightest hesitation.

She let out a soft sigh. “I regret it…”

“There’s still time to regret now.”

Elder Feng swelled with pride, as if victory was within his grasp, confident and composed. “Quick, find a reason, from your position…”

Yet, his smugness quickly turned to terror.

“What are you babbling about, you old fool? I’m just regretting why I kept making concessions, hoping that you and those so-called ‘elders’ sitting beside you—those useless elves—would acknowledge the existence of my Kingdom of Plouce.”

“And now, I have no interest left. The Kingdom of Plouce is a realm built by me, my servants, and my people; it has nothing to do with you. You are merely beings that resemble me. As for bloodlines and ranks? Hmph, such matters are determined by the victors.”

Amidst the astonishment of the old elven nobles, Adéle pressed her ears.

“You, who can do nothing yet wish to reap the rewards of my success, are the ‘lowest’ of the low.”

In the next moment, the ground seemed to tremble!

“Icarus, lock in the position. Kirov forces, acquire the Icarus coordinates, don’t mind our presence, just let it go. Leopard class, follow up immediately after the bombing starts; Tiger class, eliminate all defenses. The rest of the areas, generals, please assess for yourselves. You are not facing elven kin, but enemies who wish to destroy all the achievements of our Kingdom of Plouce. There’s no need to care, nor to feel guilty; treat it all as my command.”

[System searching for target, locking in, warning! warning! Fire coverage in 3.2.1…]

In an instant, I even felt my skin inexplicably start to sting.

“General Stein, fire~”

And then, with Adéle’s words falling, the chaos began.

It seemed as if countless sharp swords pierced through the roof above! Each one that fell was a vividly colored magical arrow, indiscriminate and chaotic, covering the entire room like a barrage of firecrackers!

Miss Mel, beside Adev, laughed as she held up a defense for Adev and me.

“How pitiful, after all these years, this group of old elves remains so degenerate and incompetent, even forgetting the most basic of magic. Handing the Kingdom of Pluris over to them is the greatest disaster for the elven race, isn’t it?”

I immediately understood the meaning behind Miss Mel’s words, for while we were safe behind her defense, the others were not faring as well.

The elves who had rushed in to target us, aside from a few who had fled in panic, were all shot to pieces by arrows. As for those elders who had been threatening Adev just a second ago, they could only huddle together in a shell-like panic, relying on the magic defenses of a few among them.

“A-Adev! You madwoman!! What… what are you doing!?”

“Hahaha~ Elders, am I not threatening you? Is your brain single-threaded? So focused on defense that you can’t even grasp the basic situation?”

“Mad, madwoman! You dare to attack our elders, you…”

“I’m merely taking action against those who aren’t considered citizens of my Kingdom of Pluris. My Kingdom of Pluris is a nation modeled after the electoral system of the Great Yng Empire; there’s no such superstition as ‘elders’ here, and since you aren’t citizens of my country, your lives and deaths are theoretically none of my concern~ I dare to come personally precisely because of this. I can yield to you, but when necessary… killing you old fossils is just a matter of a single word, nothing more.”

“Quick, quick, call for help, hurry and get the city’s…”

“Don’t waste your efforts, elders. While I’m in a good mood, I can give you a slight glimpse of the tip of the iceberg that is my Kingdom of Pluris. Just keep your mouths shut and watch, and you’ll know soon enough~”

【Boom】

The barrage of arrows in the sky came to an end, followed by a series of explosions, as those elves who had just escaped came rushing back in, crying out, for in the next moment…

The walls of the room were smashed open by some solid object, creating a large hole—cold, hard steel, which to my eyes looked like a tank, crashed through the wall!

Beyond the shattered walls, within the territory of the elven elders, flames were already rising— the walls of the elven elders’ town had turned into ruins.

Amidst the thick smoke and debris, Adev kicked away the table that had been split in two, stood up, and put on her hat.

“Elders, starting today, I will take over your territory and make it truly a part of the Kingdom of Pluris. This will all be witnessed by the humans beside me, and the young lady of the royal family of the Great Yng Empire who will arrive shortly.”

“Please do not resist, or else…”

“None of you will live.”
